A sweetener has an ADI of 5 mg/kg body weight. What is the maximum mg of that sweetener a person weighing 70 kg can consume per day without exceeding the ADI?

• A. 35 mg per day, since ADIs are always expressed per 10 kg of body weight for conservative estimates.
• B. 350 mg per day.
• C. 700 mg per day, because ADI values are typically doubled to account for safety factors in human populations.
• D. 5 mg per day, as ADI values are read as an absolute daily value independent of body weight.

Answer: (B)
